The electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes are shown here to be extremely sensitive to the chemical environment. Exposure to air or oxygen dramatically influences the nanotubes' electrical resistance, thermoelectric power, and local density of states, as determined by transport measurements and scanni…
Magneto-optical properties were measured for (La 1- x Pr x ) 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 ( x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) ceramic solid solutions, including temperature, magnetic field, oxygen isotope content and spectral dependences of the transverse Kerr effect (TKE). The TKE spectra after the transition to the ferromagnetic metal…
We investigate by lattice Monte Carlo simulation the kinetics of adsorption of isolated linear homopolymers onto a flat surface with a strong, short-ranged attraction for the segments. We focus on limiting cases corresponding to strong physisorption and chemisorption. Initially, the polymer has a conformation represen…
The structures of V 2 O 5 -TeO 2 glasses are investigated by means of 125 Te and 51 V static NMR spectroscopies and the local structures around the Te and V atoms are discussed in detail from the respective NMR spectra. The fraction of TeO 3 trigonal pyramids increases and that of TeO 4 trigonal bipyramids decreases w…
Response surface methodology (RSM) and 3-level-3-factor fractional factorial design were used to evaluate the effects of synthesis parameters, including reaction time (4 to 8 h), temperature (110 to 130 degrees C), and substrate molar ratio of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from soybean oil to methyl glucoside (4:1 t…
We investigated the relaxation of a binary polybutadiene/polyisoprene blend after the cessation of steady-state shear using both in situ optical microscopy (OM) and light scattering (LS). Through fast Fourier transforms of the micrographs, we were able to directly relate our LS patterns with the real space morphology.…
The superexchange interactions in four three-center model systems A-L-B, for A and B being paramagnetic centers and L a diamagnetic bridging ligand, are analyzed by valence bond configuration interaction models in combination with fourth-order perturbation theory. We analyze the four distinct cases where a bridging li…
A novel cyclic octanuclear chromium(III) complex with hydroxo and acetato bridging ligands was isolated and its structure determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex [Cr8(OH)12(OAc)12] (1) (OAc- = CH3CO2-), as found in crystals of 1.34H2O, is obtained by refluxing an aqueous solution of the trinuclear "basic" chr…
Microbial degradation of thermally synthesized poly(aspartic acid) (PAA) was investigated. A PAA-P1 sample (Mn, 7500; Mw, 20,000; number of branched units/100 monomer units, 3.1) was completely degraded in natural river water within 15 days at 25 degrees C. A new PAA-degrading bacterium (strain KP-2: JCM10638) was iso…
The in-depth structural analysis of spherulites of artificial cellulose, formed by the enzymatic polymerization of cellobiosyl fluoride, is reported. Both positive- and negative-type spherulites were observed by polarization optical microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the negative spherulites have a…
The mechanism of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by C 3 H 6 on Cu−Al 2 O 3 catalysts, which consist of highly dispersed Cu 2+ ions in the surface aluminate phase, are investigated by in-situ FTIR spectroscopy. During NO + C 3 H 6 + O 2 reaction, the acetate is produced via the partial oxidation of C 3 H…
We study the surface dynamics of silica films grown by low pressure chemical vapor deposition. Atomic force microscopy measurements show that the surface reaches a scale invariant stationary state compatible with the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in three dimensions. At intermediate times the surface undergoes an…
Weak localization leads to the same correction to both the conductivity and the electron-phonon coupling constant $λ$ (and $λ_{tr}$). Consequently the temperature dependence of the (thermal) electrical resistivity is decreasing as the conductivity is decreasing due to weak localization, which results in the decrease o…
Three malonato-bridged copper(II) complexes of the formulas [[Cu(H2O)3][Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)]]n (1), [[Cu(H2O)4]2[Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)]] [Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2][[Cu(H2O)4][Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2]] (2), and [Cu(H2O)4][Cu(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2] (3) (C3H2O4 = malonate dianion) have been prepared, and the structures of the two former have been s…
MCM-41/ZSM-5 composites were prepared using a dual templating method through a process of two-step crystallization. Mesoporous MCM-41 was first synthesized using the self-assembling of surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and subsequently the amorphous wall of MCM-41 was recrystallized with a structure-directing…
We report the synthesis of three sizes of thioglycerol-capped precipitated ZnS nanocrystallites with relatively narrow size distributions, having average sizes of 1.8, 2.5, and 3.5 nm, respectively. These crystallites were extracted as free-standing powders which remain stable under normal atmospheric conditions and c…
We apply an anisotropic version of the polymer reference interaction site model (PRISM) integral equation description of flexible polymers to analyze athermal liquid crystallinity. The polymers are characterized by a statistical segment length, σo, and by a physical hard-core thickness, d, that prevents the overlap of…
A systematic study of nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of inorganic transition metal (TM) thiometalates and metalates is reported. Polarizabilities (α) and second hyperpolarizabilities (γ) are calculated in solution within the polarizable continuum model. It is found that NLO properties of anionic inorganic complexe…
